    Hello everyone,

    Happy September 1st! This is the very first day of my brand-new "DO-OVER"! I plan to achieve my initial goal weight of 140 lbs. or less (within "normal" BMI range for my height of 5'3") by New Year's Day, 01/01/2025. I will post my scale app stats and progress every Sunday, with a final weigh-in on Wednesday, January 1st, 2025. Below is the first scale app post:

    I sure don't like that it thinks my "Metabolic Age" is 71! I just turned 66 on August 18th of this year! YIKES!

    09/01/24: 00.0 lost this week/00.0 TL lost

    Have a great week everyone!

    Hello,
    I have been struggling to reach my goal weight. I am trying to build some muscle so I know that I will see my weight fluctuate (which is just annoying but I get it). My goal overall is to tone up. I just had a small foot procedure so I can’t exercise yet, however I am motivated to start. Good luck to all. Start date 7/19.
